It does, *but* ...

static inline void *xa_mk_value(unsigned long v)
{
        WARN_ON((long)v < 0);
        return (void *)((v << 1) | 1);
}

... you can't pass an integer that has the top bit set to it.

Yes, that's the purpose of xa_mk_value().  From what you said, it sounded
like you were just storing the integer directly, which won't work.

You haven't tested that on 32-bit, have you?  Shift vid by 8 instead of
16, and it'll be fine.

(Oh, and you don't need to cast vid; the standard C integer promotions
will promote vid to int before shifting, and you won't lose any bits)
